I do not work in year 5 anymore, but I have banked together all my planning. Obviously it will need to be adapted to suit your class, but hopefully it should save you lots of time :)
This is 3 weeks worth of activities to go with the first of Anthony Horowitz Alex Rider stories. Stormbreaker is a story that my year 5/6 class love each year.
Enquiry question: How are climate zones different around the world?
Unit context
This geography unit ensures that pupils understand what climate is, before moving on to describe the different climate zones found around the world. In preparation for beginning this unit and to excite pupils about the content, activities from the Discovery Box can be sent home. In Lesson 1, pupils learn the difference between weather and climate, and study the data shown on a table containing climate information, as well as a climate graph. They set up their own weather investigation using a weather station and record the weather in their local area over a week. In Lesson 2, pupils learn that climate differs around the world. They learn the names of the different climate zones, their position around the world and their positions in relation to the Equator and the Tropics. Pupils also consider which climate zones are found in each continent and learn to describe the typical climate of each zone.
Next, pupils learn more about specific climate zones (polar, subpolar, temperate, Mediterranean, tropical, equatorial, and arid), and compare them. They also use atlases to find specific places in certain climate zones, write the latitude for specific places, and compare places within different climate zones. In the final lesson, pupils investigate the weather and climate of the United Kingdom and perform their own experiments using a weather station.
Further to the standard lesson resources, additional resources are provided including a Knowledge organiser, posters and a Discovery box containing fantastic cross-curricular activities.
End of unit assessment
At the end of the unit, pupils will be encouraged to show what they have learned in this unit by explaining how and why climate zones differ around the world. They should draw knowledge from each of the relevant lessons to show their understanding.

In the summer I worked alongside a team of Shanghai teachers who taught me about how they teach maths in their country. We looked at children mastering a skill and not leaving the lower ability behind.
My school decided to take on this method of teaching and I worked with these teachers and other teachers to create 6 weeks of planning for my class that covers the year 4 curriculum.
I have also planned for year 3,5 and 6 too and that planning will follow.
Here is 7 weeks of detailed planning which covers the new curriculum.
Each day has a series of tasks/activities which gradually get harder and there is always a challenge for children who have mastered the success criteria.
I have included all detailed presentations/flipcharts which I shared with the children, every activity that I created and my weekly planning.
Any questions please ask.
I hope this makes sense and it saves you lots of time. I am happy to help with any questions that you may have :)
This resource is for my year 5 class. There are still some children who cannot tell the time. This week of planning starts off very basic with simple steps. Each day has a ppt and links to games, activities and worksheets for children who can tell the time and children that cannot. This would be ideal to use from higher ability year 2 and throughout ks2. The year 6 teacher is also going through this with his class.
Ideal for any children struggling to tell the time!
Any questions please ask.
This is my planning for Romans. It has been taught and adapted from year 3-6 as we did a half term on romans.
